Summary

Summary

Offering complete coverage of the technologies, machine tools, and operations of a wide range of machining processes, Machining Technology presents the essential principles of machining and then examines traditional and nontraditional machining methods. Available for the first time in one easy-to-use resource, the book elucidates the fundamentals, basic elements, and operations of the general purpose machine tools used for the production of cylindrical and flat surfaces by turning, drilling and reaming, shaping and planing, milling, boring, broaching, and abrasive processes.

Choice Review

Machining Technology by Youssef and El-Hofy (both, Alexandria Univ., Egypt) covers machine tools of all kinds and includes chapters on hexapods, dynamometers, nontraditional machining, environment-friendly tools, design, accuracy, and automated manufacturing. It is not a textbook with a pedagogical point of view and organization, but more of a handbook of machine tools and operations. The most disappointing attribute of this work is that most of it could have been written ten tears ago. In the later chapters, advances in industrial practice made over the last decade did not make it into the book. A good aspect is the integration of German and Russian tools and practices throughout many of the chapters. For university students who want to learn the scientific bases of machining and manufacturing for advanced work and research, this reviewer recommends Milton Shaw's (now classic) Metal Cutting Principles (2nd ed., 2005). This work is useful for students who want to learn about machine tools and machining and who want to become machinists or instrument makers. Summing Up: Recommended. Lower-division undergraduates, technical program students, and professionals. A. M. Strauss Vanderbilt University
